Hi Dan, We know trans-fats are bad, but this alarm on oils causing macular degeneration is independent of that. The salient point is the degree with which the pure vegetable oil can oxidize and produce free radicals. This depends on the profile of the oil. Several common food oils are listed in the downloads section of my Philaero-Wellness.com web site in an oils analysis worksheet and snapshot. The worksheet tells you the composition of each oil and the calculated degree of lipid peroxidation. Note the saturated oils, coconut oil and Palm oil are much lower than other vegetable oils. One can also calculate their personal degree of lipid peroxidation caused by their daily oils intake. regards, Duncan Crow -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
